The Indian ash tree is a deciduous tree of the cashew family with pinnate leaves, smooth grey bark and small greenish flowers. It grows in dry woodlands from Sri Lanka and India, including Kerala, to southern China, and is planted for timber and fodder.
In Ayurveda it is known as Jingini. The bark and its gum have traditionally been used in astringent preparations for skin care and in mouth rinses for oral care.
